Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
This is a respectable if not thrilling wine from Pomerol’s largest estate. This bottle performed better than the last. Certainly it looks more mature than it should, but it has a pleasant, dusty raspberry nose and a supple palate that is clean. It does not build in the mouth, but remains very linear towards its bashful truffle-tinged, tertiary finish. It shuts the door without making a sound. Tasted March 2013.

The 1985 is a very soft, easygoing, supple, fruity wine meant to be drunk young. It could use more grip and length, but for uncomplicated quaffing at a decent price, it is hard to beat. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/91.
